Arnie Armstrong has been with Pierce Auto Parts Manufacturing Company for 23 years. Recently, he was appointed Director of Manufacturing Computer Services. In just six weeks in this new position, [he] has moved to reduce the amount of information provided to manufacturing department managers by 60 percent. He argues that excess data is distracting, unused, and expensive to provide.
Willy McClean has been department manager for 12 years. During a coffee break with some of his department production supervisors, Willy is quite vocal about the change. “Who’s this guy Armstrong to tell us what data we need? He needs to be out here for a few weeks to find out what it’s like. Keep it quiet, but I’ve got a contact in Computer Services who’ll get me all the data analyses I want for just a $20 bill each month. It’s a good deal, and Armstrong will never know. How does he expect us to make good decisions about…

Two "trains" are on the track at any given time. One train is being unloaded/reloaded while the other is moving along the track. The track itself takes 10 minutes to complete. The train being loaded should depart before the arriving train is no closer than one minute away. Each car of a train accommodates four people. Loading a car is estimated to take 6 seconds per passenger. Unloading is estimated to take 6 seconds per passenger. Suppose that (unlike actual roller coasters), only one car can be loaded or unloaded at a time. Unloading can NOT occur at the same time as loading. In order to maximize the number of potential passengers, how many cars should the train be made up of? Round your answer to the nearest whole car.arrow_forward

Three of the party's politicians will be on the show- a senator, a congresswoman, and a governor. The senator, a party "elder statesman," demands that he be on screen for at least twice as long as the governor. The total time taken by the senator and the governor must be at least twice the time taken by the congresswoman. Based on a pre-show survey, it is believed that 37, 41, and 45 (in thousands) viewers will watch the program for each minute the senator, congresswoman, and governor, respectively, are on the air. Find the time that should be allotted to each politician in order to get the maximum number of viewers. Find the maximum number of viewers.

Every month 57 employees leave the company and 57 new employees are hired. a. How long on average does an agent work for this call center (in months) Suppose the cost of hiring and training a new agent is $1,140. The manager of this call center believes that increasing agents’ salaries would keep them working longer at the company. The manager wants to increase the average time that an agent works for the call center to 36 months, or three years. b-1. Given the current average working time for agents at this call center, determine the current annual cost for hiring and training. b-2. Assuming the average time that an agent works for the call center is increased to 36 months, determine the new annual cost for hiring and training. b-3.

- Using the same file but with a different worksheet, solve the following problem. Rename the worksheet as Problem 2. Submit the same file that shows the solution (tables with optimal answers). Dr. S, the Dean of RVR COB, has decided to apply a new method in assigning professors to courses next trimester. As a criterion for judging who should teach each course, Dean S reviews the past two years' teaching evaluations. Since each of the four professors taught each of the four courses at one time or another during the two-year period, Dr. S can record a course rating for each instructor. Find the best assignment for professors.

The owners have decided to update the software used for tracking, shipping, receiving, and inventory. Fifteen computers need to be updated. Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Each computer must be updated manually by one of two trained employees, both of whom must be borrowed from other managers. The update procedure consumes 4 hours of the updater's time and generates an additional 1.5 hours of computer downtime.
